UTERUS REGIUS

In a realm governed by the ruthless will of the Spirits, Alisson has built everything from nothing through sheer grit. Proud, free, and the only Black woman at the helm of her own restaurant, she kneels before no one. But the day the Royal Guard invades her establishment, her world shatters.

A decree from the Palace condemns her to a fate she abhors: the Queen is barren, and Alisson has been chosen by the Crown to serve as the "Royal Womb." For Alisson, it is a profound humiliation. She denounces it as a loathsome political ploy an attempt to exploit a woman of her standing to bear the heir of a kingdom that preaches equality but thrives on lies. For the Queen, it is a necessity. A necessity she loathes, driving her to confine her rival and threaten her with erasure once her mission is complete.

Forced to obey, Alisson finds herself ensnared in a toxic royal court. Between the whims of a Queen who prays for her failure, the burgeoning interest of a King drawn to her defiance, and the most heart-wrenching of betrayals, Alisson must fight to preserve the only thing she has left: her soul.

Now a fugitive, uncovering the long-lost traces of her own heritage, a single question haunts her: how far will one go to protect a child who was never meant to exist?

Immerse yourself in this dark and potent novel where palace intrigue collides with the destiny of an unforgettable woman, and where forced motherhood becomes the ultimate battlefield for freedom.
